    EQUIPMENT COMPARISON BEER Fizz-ics Simple laws of physics govern draft beer dispensing; here’s what you need to know to spec a system that will work and save you money. At the World of Beer tavern across the street from Tampa Int’l. Airport, Tampa, Fla., like most WOB stores, stacked beer kegs of various sizes line two walls of a 40-ft.W x 6-ft.D walk-in cooler be- hind the bar; a narrow path between them gives bartenders and staff access to the entire cooler. While some are back-ups stored there un- til needed, at least 50 are tapped, ready for bartenders to pour from a faucet/tap in the bar. More than a dozen of the kegs in the cooler are Senior Contributing Editor tapped for a second-fl oor bar that services an outdoor deck as well. WOB also carries 500-plus beers in bottles, as you might expect from a tavern with a name like World of Beer. But why 50-plus beers on tap? Draft beer tends to be fresher than bottled beer, so it often tastes closer to what the brewer intended, which is one of WOB’s By Michael Sherer, By Michael Sherer, objectives. And since purchasing draft beer in kegs is essentially buying in bulk, it’s less expensive per ounce than bottled beer, with the potential for greater profi t per glass. If the beer isn’t dispensing properly, though, WOB—or your operation—stands to lose money literally down the drain. “Our primary goal is delivering consistent quality in the draft beers we serve,” says Dave Reid, COO, World of Beer Franchising, World of Beer, Tampa, Fla., stores kegs in a Tampa.

Since our last issue we held the 13th Branch Beer Festival, we didn’t have the usual good weather and a small issue with the venue, but we still made a small surplus to return to CAMRA headquarters. A large thank you goes out to those who sponsored the Festival, including Banks Ale & Wine House for the glasses, Wantsum for the T-shirts as well as the Conqueror, Dudda’s Tun and Planet Thanet Beer Co for sponsoring the bars. Our success has also secured us some sponsorship for next year already, if you are interested in sponsoring a bar or barrels please do contact us for further information. Following the CAMRA AGM most of the proposed changes went through, and while there is always some controversy when changes are made, the focus remains on real ale, cider and perry. While some of you will not agree with the changes, we as a branch will embrace these, but do not worry, our beer festival will remain unchanged. This year we would also like to engage more members, that might include you(!) with our Good Beer Guide & Pub of the Year 2019 process. Please take a little time to read the article about this, so that you know how it works and to get involved! Talking about getting involved – the Beer Festival Committee is already preparing for 2019.
